Tonight's the night
Often bandied about by randy young men this phrase is ominous, gleeful and full of anticipation. The Northumberland Hills Hospital will be holding its Annual Special Meeting to do a couple of things and not to what the majority? of members want, and the meeting is tonight!
At a meeting last night some members of the public, 50-60 all told, listened to members of the Citizens for Alternative Solutions as they explained procedures in conducting meetings and how to behave and handle questions at AGMs. "It's your meeting, it belongs to the members. It is not the Board's meeting, and as such you (the members) determine what goes on." You are not allowed to make business motions but you can control the way the meeting goes by moving questions of procedure." John Morand, a consultant and a lawyer versed in corporate law said.
The group also laid out their priorities, the major one being to force the Board to revise the Bylaw package being offered and to have an election that would allow members to vote for all of the candidates not just a selected slate. How these will be achieved is subject to speculation and the signs point to an interesting and levely meeting.
7pm at the Best Western, upstairs in the Ballroom.
